Yay! I’ve done it! I’ve finally made and tried a green smoothie. And guess what? It is delicious!

I know what you’re going to say. It looks gross and you wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. I would’ve said the same thing if I weren’t so determined to FINALLY try a green smoothie. After months of thinking about it, trying to find some alternative gluten free breakfasts, I finally did it. Eureka!

Here’s the thing. Ya’ just gotta get past the color. Blindfold yourself if you have to. I promise, I swear, it’s delicious.

Totally picturing someone with a blindfold and a clothepin on the nose…LOL Actually, it sounds very good.

Hi Sheri,

It IS good! I had one again this morning – they are almost addicting. But the color is pretty gross, for a smoothie:).

The best way to have a green smoothie that looks yuckie is in a drink bottle – drink it while on the computer and just ignore it till its gone…

I bought a Blendtec a year ago and have made green smoothies for breakfast everyday for the past year. I generally use:1/2 apple1/2 pear2" cucumber1/2 stalk of celeryfew green grapes1/2 bananahandful of spinach or kale3 ice cubes4oz water

Sometimes I add pineapple, or strawberries or blueberries. The latter 2 will turn the smoothie brown like the one you pictured.

I've converted many friends, because they taste so delicious.

Just started drinking green smoothies myself and have found a perfect combo of 1 can coconut juice
half frozen banana
a few slices frozen mango
2 kiwis
2 to 3 handfuls spinich
handful of kale
and half an avacado
this combo with powder probiotics and green max powder from swansons is ” The BOMB”
